This has got to be "the bargain of the year"! This top quality camera is massively reduced by $300 off the RRP so you can't afford to miss this opportunity to take your trip filming to a whole new level! Using the various mounts, you can put this camera practically anywhere on your vehicle capturing the best of the scenery and your driving. You can also attach it to yourself and use as a traditional helmet camera, so that you can film action footage such as bushwalking, boating and fishing, without having to spend your holiday looking through a camera lens. The unit is shock resistant, dustproof and waterproof with a rating of 1m for 30 minute submersion, making it ideal for use in even the most hazardous environments. To give you some idea, here's some great footage taken by David Martin during an Adventure Race, using the camera mounted to his hat, and some 4WD footage with the camera mounted to various parts of the vehicle.

NEW Trek Note - WA Goldfields Region

This trek offers travellers a fascinating insight into the woodline operations that supplied fuel and pit infrastructure to the Coolgardie, Kalgoorlie and Norseman mining operations for the first half of the 20th century. The route traverses arid temperate woodlands of outstanding diversity and ecological importance, holding vast eucalypt woodlands. The region is one of the last temperate climate regions to have largely escaped land clearing for agriculture so is definitely worth exploring. Click for Great Western Woodlands
